One nice price for both movies. I'll be all over it

Looks cool. Still unsure about it. Episodes from Slimer! And the Real Ghostbusters with Dave Coulier voicing Venkman aren't exactly enticing (no offense to Coulier). Least I have till August to decide. What I really want is The Real Ghostbusters on DVD. But then, wouldn't we all!

Pros:

• Remastered transfer.
• Episodes from Slimer! And the Real Ghostbusters. Well, they're new extras, they're directly related to Ghostbusters, so not a bad thing.
• Collectible scrapbook.
• Cool new packaging (at least on the outside).

Cons:

• Already have both films.

Obviously the pros far outweigh. Whether their weight is enough to warrant a double-dip is yet to be determined.

This was so much easier in the days of VHS. Don't think I ever double-dipped, though I was tempted when Jurassic Park and The Lost World: Jurassic Park were reissued as double-cassette packages. Special features were just beginning to creep into more and more VHS releases at that time.

I might double dip, havent made up my mind yet. Theres a lot of ticked off Ghostheads, and im one of them, we all want a new SE with new stuff. Not just new audio or video. I dont have a HDTV so i wont notice the video changes

No one knows whether or not they will come in two seperate amaray cases or one double amaray case. I personally do not like double cases unless the extra discs are supplemental material for the first disc. Two different movies in the same case annoys me. That's my OCD talking.

So why not skip the double-dip until you get the widescreen? By then the price will have fallen, or if it takes long enough you will be looking for the HD version. Put the $20 towards your widescreen instead and enjoy what for you are the nearly identical copies that you already have. Peace be upon your tortured ecto-soul.

I think it's really, really bad

Different taste I guess.

I like the cover as well.

So do you think its safe to sell my old GB disc? Or should I wait for reviews to see if anything is missing.

I wouldn't get rid of anything until I knew for sure that everything from the previous release was retained. Besides, you might want to wait to also make sure that the new transfer is solid, and hasn't been botched in some way.

I just sold my copy of GB for almost $10. So the extra $4 will be well worth it to get both movies with new transfers and possibly new extras.

Question, where did you sell your copy? Im contemplating on selling both of mine right now but not sure if ebay is the right way to go being as this is one of my favorite dvds and probably wont get much for it off ebay.

Back cover art...

Looks like 2 seperate keepcases...and does anyone else see 1.33:1 as the aspect ratio for Ghostbusters? That can't be right. Surely not. No. Right?

Sony has a trailer up on there website but i cant get it to work. Im still debating if im picking this up, maybe the scrapbook will have stuff not on the orginal dvd. They put a lot of storyboards, and drawings on the orginal dvd and i found that cool.

It seems fairly clear from the back of that case that one of the films is pan-and-scan and the other is OAR...fucked up, I say...

The chart on the back of the case looks rather peculiar, but maybe it's saying that each movie is presented both widescreen and full frame, and it is listing the audio options for each one? Maybe they're flippers.

Then again, maybe not... since Ghostbusters is specifically listed as Widescreen in the special features and Ghostbusters 2 is not. Pity.

To me, it looks like tie-dye, not slime

hmm.. I'm thinking the 1.33:1 ratio is for the 2 episodes of the Real Ghostbusters?

The grid on the right, from what I can tell, goes: (from top to bottom)

Ghostbusters
[1.33:1]
Full Frame

Ghostbusters 2
[2.40:1]
Widescreen

edit-It does say "Widescreen" in the special features, though as mentioned above. Who knows. It'll probably be fine.

Eh, still no SE Treatment for GB2? No Sale

Bummer, no real special features for GB2. That's a crime too because I know for a fact there are featureates out there, I used to have them burnt to a cd but cant find it. They could have at least added the music videos. I know of at least three, Ray Parker Jr's 'Ghostbusters', RUN DMCs 'Ghostbusters' and Bobby Brown's 'On Our Own'. This really ticks me off but I'll still sell my current discs and pay the $14 for this just because of the what I think at least is an improvement to the current covers, and being a fan I want the booklet and 2 episodes. I was also hoping they'd adopt the Australian cover for GB2 being they had the whole green slime theme, I was close though.
